The media is turning on President Obama

By Michael Goodwin

New York Post April 27/2014

With multiple crises spiraling out of control around the world, stories about the Obama presidency are taking on the air of postmortems. What went wrong, who’s to blame, what next — even The New York Times is starting to recognize that Dear Leader is a global flop.

“Obama Suffers Setbacks in Japan and the Mideast,” the paper declared on Friday’s front page. The double whammy of failure pushed the growing Russian menace in ¬Europe to inside pages, but even they were chock-full of reports about utopia gone wrong.

Yet it remains a fool’s errand to hope Obama will correct his ways. He is not capable; he looks in the mirror and sees only a savior.

It is equally clear that those who shielded him from facts and their own best judgment did him no ¬favors. Out of fear and favor, they abdicated their duty to the nation, and they must share the burden of history’s verdict. After all, America’s decline happened on their watch, too.

Are you saying that Democrats and The Media will man-up and take responsibility for the failures? Never, ever will that happen. It’ll be more circle-the-wagons and defend tyranny at all costs.

So right. Progressives will choke to death on the truth rather than admit a failure.

It’s a little late now. He will executive order anything that will destroy this country until the election(should there be one in 2016) and then the press will drool over the next liberal candidate.

The American media are corrupt to the core. No chance that they will do their job. I would trust a used car salesman more.

“Useful idiots.”

They’re about to find out their usefulness is used up.

Yeah, really turning on him.

“How was your Green Tea ice cream?”

He’s a puppet...a distraction. If the RATs get another in ‘16, the same people will be pulling the strings and the cliff will be a foregone conclusion (if the B0ners of the Hill don’t fully accomplish defeatism on their own before then).

Well, seems fair, Obama has been turning on Chrissy Mathews for years.

Only the LEFTIST media would claim that reporting the “truth” is turning on Obama.

Well, I guess in a way, it IS!

A purpose of a free press is to hold government accountable, but there is no fallback when the watchdog voluntarily chooses to be a lapdog.

Shame on the MSM... shame on them...

As soon as I hear a meaningful question on Benghazi, or any of the other myriad scandals or failed policy decisions, I will give this claim some consideration. I trust that I will have a very long wait.

With multiple crises spiraling out of control. . .

Don't you just hate it when a crisis spirals out of control.

I just finished watching a panel on FOX declare a brilliant Obama victory over “racist” Cliven Bundy and how the media should treat Obama with more respect.

Sure the media will 'turn' on him - once it's clear he's more of a liability to the leftist cause than a benefit. That way they think they can keep their credibility and start pimping for CLinton at the same time.

Never assume the news media has a conscience our it's in any way inclined to do the right thing.

This is such scheiss unsin is ever there was some! Did you see the lynchmob they tried to foment against Mr. Bundy? Notice the cowards on the so-called Conservative side who chimed in without listening to or understanding Mr.Bundy's full remarks?

The drive by media is as potent as ever -- even more so!
